why do the destroyer droids in the gungan battle not have their sheilds up??

1) When Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are talking before Qui-Gon returns for Anakin, the print is flipped- which causes Obi-Wan's braid to be on his left... not his right.

2) When JarJar meets Padme, while she is cleaning up Artoo, the tail end of the scene is, again, flipped so it appears that Padme is looking to her right and Artoo is looking to his left to look at JarJar... notice Artoo's "facial" details are reversed (the holoprojector is now on his right).

3) If the Trade Federation has cut all communications from Naboo and TO Naboo, why is it that Sio Bibble was able to reach the Royal Starship with his "you must help us" message. Is this why Obi-Wan knew the message was sent to establish a trace?

Lucas actually brings up the reversed braid in the commentary. He was planning on reversing that shot during editing, so he made Ewan flip his braid over, but then decided against it. So he "outsmarted" himself.

There's also a shot during the podrace where the animators forgot to but Sebulba in his pod and somebody (Scott Squires?) brings it up during the commentary.

It's cool the film makers bring their own goofs to light. I can't wait for the Episode IV commentary with all the goofs in that film.

It was a ruse to try to locate the Queen's ship. They just either lowered the jamming waves temporarily from Naboo or sent the message from somewhere else.

I think the reason for no shields was just a plot device. That scene was only in there for comic 'relief' to show JJ shooting the droideka with the BD on his foot. It wouldn't work with the shields up.

Why send so many Battle Droids to the planet? When the federation could have sent over 1000 Destoyers?

Also notice in the final scenes of Darth Maul,he had his lightsaber on all the time,when obi Wan jumped over him it was off and when he fell down the saft I believe it was on(?) This changes from different shots.
